radiofrequency ablation combined with recombinant human adenovirus type 5 in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma.

Conditions: Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Summary: the primary reason for recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma after radiofrequency ablation (rfa) is the micro-metastatic lesion that has not been ablated and inactivated in the transitional area.some clinical trials have confirmed that h101(recombinant human adenovirus type 5 injection) has selective oncolysis in a variety of solid tumors.however, there are no reports that h101 which is injected during surgery can improve the efficacy of rfa in liver cancer at present.therefore,we used a multicenter prospective randomized controlled study as the main method to prospectively compare the short-term and long-term efficacy of rfa combined with h101 group and traditional rfa group in the treatment of small liver cancer (single lesion , diameter less than or equal to 3cm，to evaluate the value of rfa combined with h101 injection in reducing the postoperative recurrence rate of small hepatocellular carcinoma, and to provide a reliable evidence-based medical basis for the selection of treatment methods for small hepatocellular carcinoma.

the primary reason for recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma after radiofrequency ablation (rfa) is the micro-metastatic lesion that has not been ablated and inactivated in the transitional area.oncolytic virus h101 is a genetically engineered adenovirus that lacks elb 55ku protein.some clinical trials have confirmed that h101 has selective oncolysis in a variety of solid tumors.furthermore,research shows that the directly dissolving tumor activity of h101 enhanced obviously and activate the body's anti-tumor immune to induce the distal antitumor effect under the condition of mild high temperature (40 ℃ and 42 ℃).the transition zone of rfa can provide the appropriate mild high temperature.however, there are no reports that h101 which is injected during surgery can improve the efficacy of rfa in liver cancer at present.therefore,we used a multicenter prospective randomized controlled study as the main method to prospectively compare the short-term and long-term efficacy of rfa combined with h101 group and traditional rfa group in the treatment of small liver cancer (single lesion , diameter less than or equal to 3cm，to evaluate the value of rfa combined with h101 injection in reducing the postoperative recurrence rate of small hepatocellular carcinoma, and to provide a reliable evidence-based medical basis for the selection of treatment methods for small hepatocellular carcinoma.
